2015 Nissan Altima

Pros: Simple, user-friendly control layout; comfortable, absorbent ride with composed, predictable handling; decent back-seat space; good fuel economy with 4-cylinder engine

Cons: Rather noisy when accelerating, especially with 4-cylinder engine; Some trim pieces on lower-end models look a bit bland

CG Says: For 2015, the Nissan Altima gets an longer list of standard equipment on most trim levels, and the highway fuel-economy estimate is improved by 1 mpg on V6 models. Otherwise, there are no significant changes. The Altima was redesigned for the 2013 model year, and lost its 2-door-coupe body style for 2014. The Altima does exactly what most shoppers expect from a midsize sedan. It has a nicely appointed cabin, rides well, and, at least in 4-cylinder form, delivers excellent fuel economy. It’s noisier than the class norm, and the rear seating area is a bit short on headroom, but these negatives are fairly minor. Despite these shortcomings, Altima remains a solid choice that offers good value for your money.
